Not a car, but, the 1983 Steinwinter Supercargo:






I came across this via a YouTube suggestion, link:
I never knew this existed 😳 but glad I came across it. Good to see it still exists and to be fair, I think it belongs in a museum.
From what I can gather through a 2-minute "research" was in around the late 1970s, this was the brainchild of one Manfred Steinwinter. The cab was based on a low racer-type vehicle that could accommodate 3 adults and be driven around the city for example without the trailer. But due to some regulations around the early 80s the idea was shelved.
Also, if you are observant enough, you might notice what looks like a Ferrari logo on the front of the truck. Ferrari in fact had nothing to do with the truck, but the obscure car company of Steinwinter did, more about it here:

A few from me.
Recent spots in Belgium:

Hyundai i20. Looks to have been there for a long time.

This 207 in a local shops carpark that I use to park in too. 207 has been here for a good year or so, it was here in August last year.
UK:

This Polo is by mine, owned by an older gentleman. Hasn't moved now for a good half a year but is still taxed and MoT'd (or least it was last time I checked)

Focus in Halesowen. Been here for ages, not moved since about 2010/11.

75 V6, although it doesn't look abandoned, it hasn't moved for a while.

106, Erdington near a shiter. 

Toyota Avensis. Outside a shop in Selly Oak, Birmingham.

This is the one I had. Mustard mitt, your one looks great.

OK, so been to Cora, and this is what they have:

1/64s:



1/18s:








I was very tempted by both the 635CSi and Aston Martin DB5 but although I can afford them, I've other stuff to pay for so don't want to leave myself without.
Solido also had some 1.43 cars, again, I was tempted by the M3:



Loved these Vespas, cheap too:

Eventually I settled on these 2:

I'd not seen a new release Mercedes 450 SEL by Majorette, I know they did a slightly poor proportioned one in the 80s (as I have one)



I was very tempted by this Porsche too but model buying was getting a tad OTT.

 

So, now I've got some actual time to myself, I went here:

Pêle-Mêle is a kind of bohemian/hipster second-hand bookstore. They also do other stuff like games consoles, model cars and trains, music etc...



EDL! (No, not those twats 🤣)



It's also a great place to get model cars.




Of course, I had to do a buyage (prices still on the cars/boxes)

Also, bought these the other day:

I've yet to go to the store where there is a load of 1/18s. I doubt I'll be buying anything though (or at least l, I hope not, I've got fuel and food to buy.

Bew!

I spotted one of these hill-climb modded 3-series BMWs a few months back. When I first saw it I thought it was bodged up but it seems to be a thing.


Car in your pic appears to be piloted by Brian Badonde (a character from TV series called Facejacker)

Went to a 'brocant' (car boot) in Namur and spotted some of these:









The first lot with the Citroëns were very tempting, I kind of wished I had got a few more. He even had one of those Majorette sets "Black Edition" with a 190e etc... for 10€. I should have got it but have bills to pay back in the UK 😡
The Solidos were nice but slightly over-priced and annoyingly many were "code 3" fire service vehicles.
I did however come away with this small haul:

I really liked the Renault 5 "Auto Bild" just more out of curiosity than anything, I'm fully aware that it's just some cheap diecast given the pic of the wheels on the other cars on the packaging, but still. I also really liked the C5 estate as I have a few Norev models. The Berlingo van was nice and unusual and the Fiat van was a nice curiosity made by "efsi" in Holland. The seller had a load of them.

This is the one I had. Mustard mitt, your one looks great.

1 Citroen van as pictured, the Merc 450 Inourchased and the rest were red Corvettes with tampos and fairly modern Toyota 4x4 again with tampos.
